than you.hemophilia A is due to factor eight deficiency & it is treated by factor eight concentrate.but at this stage your uncle is not responding to it probably due to development of antibody against it.but FEIBA is a good option in this case which is continuing now.now repeated epistaxis is a problem.gradually factor seven is to be increased.

start porcine factor VIII or recombinant factor VIIa or start immune tolerance therapy by infusing large dose (25-100 iu/kg/day) of factor VIII daily/alternate days for months till the inhibitor level become un detectable, it can be combined with immunosuppressive agents, keep on doing factor assay to monitor the treatment and to prevent any further bleeding episode and also keep on checking inhibitor status whether its concentration is decreasing or not.
